NOVEL WEB Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The Leader of Uzushio Village
However, after a moment, Reiji shook his head and sighed.
"Forget it! What matters now is fixing this seal." Reiji's determination grew again, and he focused on his experiment, ignoring the chaos he had created.
Reiji then began working to repair the new seal he had just created.
Thanks to the basic understanding he gained from previous experiments, this time Reiji's process went faster, although his understanding was still far from perfect.
His main goal now was to create a more stable Chain Fire Explosion, without the risk of it exploding prematurely.
Time and again, Reiji repeated the experiment, making smaller versions and carefully observing the results.
Each time he failed, Reiji merely grimaced and mentally noted what mistakes needed to be corrected.
With great perseverance, finally, as the sun began to lean towards the west, Reiji succeeded in creating a much more stable seal.
"Phew... Finally succeeded!" Reiji's face lit up with a wide smile, a satisfied glimmer shining in his eyes.
"Alright, it's time for the real test!" With enthusiasm, Reiji channeled his chakra into the Explosive Paper, watching as sparks began to ignite its tip.
Quickly, Reiji attached the Explosive Paper to a kunai and threw it into the orange evening sky.
Immediately after, Reiji ran behind a large rock for cover, holding his breath, and prepared to witness the results of his hard work.
The next second…
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Five consecutive explosions shook the sky, illuminating the dusk with spectacular sparks.
The explosions burst in the evening sky, blending with the orange glow of the setting sun.
Local residents who looked up at the sky gazed in awe at the sight, as if they were witnessing magnificent fireworks.
Reiji, peeking out from his hiding place, was stunned. "I... I didn't expect the explosions to be that big..."
Reiji murmured, his eyes wide as he stared at the sky, which was slowly calming down, with smoke leaving a faint trace.
Reiji sighed, mentally noting. "I think, for the next experiment, I need to make it a bit smaller..."
Reiji said, looking down as he contemplated his mistakes.
However, there was a pride he couldn't hide, a small smile emerging on his face.
This time, Reiji felt one step closer to a true understanding of the seal he was creating.
Feeling that the explosion that had just occurred was too large and grand for a basic test, Reiji squeezed the tips of his right fingers, trying to calm his thoughts.
Reiji stared at the shimmering formula screen in front of him, his face serious as he adjusted the [Formula] to reduce the explosion's power for better control.
After several trials and adjustments, Reiji finally felt successful.
However, as silence enveloped the experimental space, Reiji realized that the sky had darkened. Night had arrived.
The cold night wind blew gently, and the sounds of nature around the forest were so clear.
With weary steps, Reiji began to walk back, leaving the experimental area.
The quiet forest, with the sound of his footsteps on the damp ground, added to the tranquility of the night.
Reiji knew it was time to go home.
However, not long after Reiji took a step, suddenly a man appeared before him, causing him to stop abruptly.
The figure stood tall in the middle of the path, as if emerging from the darkness of the night.
Reiji looked at the man in confusion, slightly startled by his sudden presence.
"What is it, sir?" Reiji asked with a puzzled expression.
The man stared at Reiji with sharp eyes, yet his voice remained calm. "Do you not know who I am, boy?"
Reiji pondered for a moment, then looked at the man more closely. "The... The Clan Leader? The Leader of Uzushio Village?" Reiji replied, his tone filled with confusion.
